EuroGOOS strategic meeting

“Advance and implement a marine monitoring and forecasting system using a European Centre(s) approach.”

EuroGOOS and the Oceanography Center of the University of Cyprus invite you to participate in the strategic meeting organised on the 10th of October 2012 in Nicosia under the auspices of the Cyprus EU presidency.

The goal of the meeting is to develop a long‐term Strategic Partnership between National Agencies and Institutes and the Global and European Ocean Monitoring and Forecasting capacity, which is being structured for delivering the GMES Marine Service.

The development model of operational oceanography in Europe is undergoing a profound mutation driven by a positive expectation from our users and a strong willingness of the EU to support, via the GMES programme, the transition to a sustainable service based on a pan‐ European cooperation. The EuroGOOS community responds remarkably well to this challenge, especially by taking in 2012 the structuring initiatives required by this context.

ΕuroGOOS warmly invites its members to take this opportunity in Nicosia to set up the Strategic Partnership required for a GMES Marine service, strengthening the whole operational oceanography capacity in Europe.The meeting will be hosted by the University of Cyprus Oceanography Center at the University of Cyprus Campus in Nicosia, Cyprus
